What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo explore the perception of doctors and nurses from the Family Health Strategy in the municipality of Santa Bárbara d'Oeste/State of São Paulo regarding the promotion of adequate and healthy eating practices, in light of the Dietary Guidelines for the Brazilian Population.
methodsAll doctors and nurses from the Family Health Teams were interviewed and the interviews were transcribed for content analysis. The thematic categories for analysis were defined a priori, having the Dietary Guidelines as a guide. The findings were discussed considering the Health Promotion framework.
resultsDoctors (n=11) and nurses (n=9) were mostly female, between 36 and 45 years old and with 1 to 5 years of experience in the Family Health Strategy. Perceptions about their knowledge about food and health, autonomy in food choices, nutritional reductionism, convenience and cost appeared as challenges and were shown to be misaligned with the Dietary Guidelines. However, their perceptions about the consumption of ultra-processed foods and commensality were more in line with the Guidelines.
conclusionProfessionals perceive limitations in their knowledge about food and nutrition and the difficulties in carrying out actions to promote adequate and healthy eating, focusing on specific nutrients and restrictive prescriptions. The perception of the consumption of ultra-processed products as something harmful and the recognition of the influence of the context in which eating occurs on eating practices were observed. Despite the perception of obstacles to adequate and healthy eating as highlighted in the Dietary Guidelines, no strategies were suggested to overcome them.
